America needs universal healthcare and a wall to put every corrupt piece of shit in front of.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I misread that as

DOES AMERICA NEED TO GO?

[–] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 5 points 1 month ago

It really does honestly

"Does America need God?"

Heavily depends on the God, I would say.
Might be fun watching Thor wreck havoc over there...

The questionable leading class sexual orgies they already get right, so I think the US don't need Zeus or similar.

Maybe a nice God instead...
Hathor sounds like a good idea, I would support that!

[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I dunno, the way Hathor tried to take over Stargate Command didn't really sit well with me...

When Jesus heard this, He said to him, “One thing you still lack; sell all that you possess and distribute it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” But when he had heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich. And Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

Does America need Bank of America?

Depends on which god. It definitely doesn't need the god of the televangelist.

Yeah some Sybele would probably do us some good

Oh, it’s coming back, just slower so we don’t notice.

[–] janewaydidnothingwrong@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I think that public discourse on subjects such as this is pretty important. I trust an academic with a record as sterling as Pinker to present his opinion and factual statements ina very professional and well-spoken manner, and you just never know who might be tuning in to something like that. For a lot of folks on the conservative side, something like this might be one of their only chances to hear from someone who isnt part of the conservative bubble. You never know

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I agree. I don't know the individuals involved or the typical subjects discussed on the podcast, but I'm fine laying out the arguments and having an honest/real discussion.

Someone who initially thinks the answer is "Yes" should be able to watch this and be convinced "No" is the correct answer.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I trust Dr. Pangloss of the neoliberal order to present his argument in a factual way that does not mention his links with Epstein.

Considering the make-work program that is the US editorial section important conversation is how the Overton window got as narrow as it is.

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

neoliberal

The free-market capitalism variant of right-wing libertarianism? Okay.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Look, I don't know what exact word game you're trying to play here, or why you're spamming this exact comment evey time someone uses the word "neoliberal", and to be perfectly honest I don't care. But if you're gonna pick a concept to be in denial of, I'd pick one without a wikipedia page.

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

meme: you mad?
I linked wikipedia, too: both articles agree. Work on your literacy.

The ones in denial are dullards who use words without understanding them.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, no, I don't care what your flavor of crankdom is, not biting.

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Yet you replied and are still wrong. Facts don't care about your ignorance & inability to comprehend them.

[–] janewaydidnothingwrong@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I was unaware of any alleged ties to Epstein on Pinker's behalf. I cant gauge the veracity of those claims as all information I can obtain is through the media and we know how little that's worth. Very disheartening if true. However, I'm not sure it has much bearing on this particular discussion. That being said I do also think that anyone with confirmed ties to someone as vile as Epstein should become a pariah at the least.

It matters very much to the ruling class for population control. Gotta keep everybody believing in magic so that they don't look at the reality around them and begin dealing with actual problems.

We don't have health care because it's God's plan and the devil's work.

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 7 points 1 month ago

Let's try an experiment. Those who need god live with god and the others don't. Then after some decades we compare. Until then, nobody pesters the other group.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 weeks ago

No one, anywhere, does

[–] sepi@piefed.social 7 points 1 month ago

There is no god.

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

Look, ive said it before and ill say it again.

When we find God, well kill him again.

We always kill our god. In real life and on our stories

Example 1: protoss and xelnaga Example 2: jebus Example 3: the god emperor n horus Example 4: kratos
